Bag Day started in 1988 as a fun and easy way to support Northampton retailers, restaurants and service providers in a local kick off to the holiday shopping season. Over the years, this annual tradition showcased a custom shopping bag that listed the names of participants who offered discounts to Bag Day shoppers. The promotion was altered by the pandemic but, last year, the bag returned, and so did the enthusiasm for Bag Day and shopping local businesses!
Bag Day takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving, providing a unique Northampton shopping experience for locals and visitors to enjoy. Shoppers can pickup a commemorative bag at participating locations or Thornes Marketplace on Bag Day and use it as a "check list" while shopping.
